A new app details where your food comes from — and just how fragile the global food system really is A “first of its kind" tool could help untangle the complex global web of food supply chains and make it more resilient to climate shocks.

A new app allows users to visualize how extreme weather can cascade through global supply chains.

The potential for researchers and policymakers to make informed decisions and develop emergency food reserves ensures a more resilient global food system.

This coastal tribe has a radical vision for fighting sea-level rise in the Hamptons Next to some of the priciest real estate in the world, the Shinnecock Nation refuses to merely retreat from its vulnerable shoreline.

In the past few years, the Shinnecock have employed a combination of strategies to protect themselves against rising seas, like planting beach grass to strengthen dunes and developing oyster reefs to blunt tidal energy.

How carbon finance is seeding new hope for northern forests Toilet paper and biomass pellets are emblematic of the fight to save northern forests – and prevent some the planet’s more important biodiversity from going down the toilet (or up in smoke). While much of the focus on deforestation is on the world’s tropical forests, the degradation of boreal and temperate forests continues apace, threatening their ability to store carbon and destroying ecosystems.

"...Sweden is on track to lose the rest of its old-growth forests before the end of the century, while those of Estonia and Finland are rapidly turning from carbon sinks into carbon sources."
